After reading all the above, I STILL cant get rid of the clock on my lock screen.

Just did some research on my own. https://www.techradar.com/news/best-cameraphone The Galaxy S9 Plus. Looks sweet, for a camera, at least. But it aint inexpensive. $930 at Verizon. BUT, on Amazon, they have an "unlocked" one that's refurbished, for $590! Unlocked means I can use it on...

Just thinking about this. The Z3 camera is terrible. I did a video of my parakeet talking, and it came out DARK, in a brightly lit room that previously ( with the LG G5 ) would have been great! So I looked up the receipt. I got the Z3 on October 24th. Verizon has a 2 week return policy, so...

Thanks B. Will try it! :-)

I deleted everything from the Google Photo, but don't want to use it anymore because of its behavior. So I installed one called Photo Gallery, but it wouldn't tell how to get rid of ads, which made it very annoying, though I LIKED the app! So I need a good photo app - preferably photo AND...

Will remember that in the future. Thanks!

OK. Jeez. :( Shafting customers is BAD BUSINESS. EXCEPT THEY'RE ALL DOING IT! I used to build Heathkits, back in the 80's, and some of them are STILL running. Ok, it's not a phone, but hardware LASTS, and when I take care of a phone and it's in nearly new condition, it REALLY ANGERS ME when...

Can I sell this LG G5 now, to someone who can root and revert the OS to before September 21st? Would anyone buy it like that, if I put it on Ebay for example? I was even thinking of using it just for the camera, because this Moto Z3 doesn't seem like as good a camera, but it won't turn on...

Thanks B Diddy! I downloaded everything and deleted it, and also deleted the Google photo app! It was, unbeknownst to me, keeping personal selfies that I took of myself, using my CELL phone camera, and storing them in their cloud, without me even knowing it - going back to 2012! BAD! I don't...

I don't see any way to select all, and download.

I actually did, thanks. I'm trying https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartgalleryllc.photogallery It looks very nice so far, but they're kind of cryptic on how much it is to register it and stop the ads. It did away with all the Google junk, which I didn't realize was because...

I just got a new Moto Z3 and don't like the Photos app. It's tossing all kinds of stuff onto the screen, including some apparend cloud save stuff going back to 2012, and jumbling up the Alblums with People, Places, Things...on top. I either need a way to get rid of all that, or get another app...

Ok, well bottom line, can I still sell the LG G5 to someone who can bring it back and use it? Yeah, I've been using Altap Salamander ( registered - replaced the defunct Norton Commander with it ) for years, but cant seem to get it to recognize the phone, plugged into the USB. ( Says I don't...

Well I never expected to come into a Z3. I was fine with my LG G5 until the apparently-planned-bricking that happened with the September 21st Android update. ( YES, I investigated this and found articles that it happens - after experiencing phone deaths regularly - about every 2 years! ) The...

Is anyone still reading this? I found out what's going on: _______________________ Android Phone Timed Obsolescence?! This has been driving me crazy for a few years now. I take good care of my Android phones. After 2 years, they’re still in great shape. Then all of a sudden, they don’t work...
